Black River County Park, County park in Morris County, United States
Black River County Park extends across 560 acres along the eastern shore of the Black River between Long Valley and Chester in New Jersey.
The area contained iron ore mines during the 19th century, with the Hacklebarney Branch of the High Bridge Railroad constructed in 1883 to support mining operations.
The Elizabeth D. Kay Environmental Center and Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center provide natural education programs for the local community throughout the year.
The park maintains multiple picnic areas, walking paths, and facilities for visitors, with access available from sunrise to sunset daily.
Former railway trestles from the abandoned Central Railroad of New Jersey have been integrated into hiking trails along the river.
